Maine Coast: Purely Acadia​

Established in 1883, this historic inn overlooks the placid waters of Northeast Harbor and is adjacent to Acadia National Park. It has 48 rooms—31 in the four-story Main Inn, and 17 in four smaller buildings known collectively as the “Asticou Cottages”—and features fully modern amenities, including a heated swimming pool and clay tennis court. The inn is also home to an elegant harbor side restaurant, Peabody’s, serving local and regional favorites such as lobster bisque, New England clam chowder and Napoleons made with fresh Maine blueberries. The beautifully landscaped Azalea Garden and Thuya Garden are within easy walking distance.

Built in 1887, this inn is close to all of Bar Harbor’s attractions. Take in views of Frenchman Bay through the dining room’s picture window. The Inn’s new luxury spa opened in spring 2006.
